‘We Were A Little Bit Successful’: Musk Reflects On DOGE Stint

Billionaire Elon Musk says his stint leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under President Donald Trump was “a little bit successful," though he now believes he would have been better off focusing on his companies. Musk made the remarks in a podcast released Tuesday, hosted by Katie Miller, a former DOGE spokeswoman and wife of Trump's deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller.

Musk headed DOGE from a small office in the executive branch complex, where he was tasked with executing sweeping cost-cutting measures across the federal workforce and government agencies during Trump's second term. His tenure ended abruptly after a highly public break with Trump in June over the administration's flagship tax and spending bill, which Musk described as “utterly insane and destructive."

Asked whether he would take on the role again, Musk replied, “No, I don't think so," adding that he likely would have spent the time working on Tesla and SpaceX. “And they wouldn't have been burning the cars," he said, referencing a series of vandalism incidents at Tesla dealerships and charging stations while he was overseeing DOGE.

Musk maintained that the cost-cutting effort achieved some of its goals. “We were a little bit successful. We were somewhat successful," he said. “We stopped a lot of funding that really just made no sense, that was entirely wasteful."

However, DOGE's actual impact remains disputed. While the official DOGE website lists $214 billion in cuts, outside analysts say the numbers fall far short of reflecting real, verifiable savings.
